HALLECK, NEVADA, is having severe
weather enough for anything. a
gentleman Just in from there reports
tina he thermometer registered SO de-
grees below zero two weeks ago.
NEvER-sATIsFIED people are longing
for heavier storms than we have yet
had this season; neither rain nor snow
will be objected to so long as the earth
receives plenty of quenching aqua.
IT IS rumored that Ballington Booth,
the chief of the Salvation Army propa-
ganda of the Pacific slope, Will be in
town shortly; Salvationists are, there

A MUSICAL boom has struck Ogden. a
favored few on Tuesday evening were
given the privilege of witnessing pri-
vate violin exhibition by a gentleman

TRICKS FOB Amusement, is the in
scription on a neat card presented by
Mr.. Salo Ansbach, a gentleman of ex-
ceptional ability IN that line. who is at
present sojourning in this city. He in
forms us that he does not intend giving
public entertainments, his business be
ing to impart instruction to those desir
ing it, at fees proportionate to the
amount Of information sought. He
gave US a most gratifying exhibition OF
his dexterity.
WE had the pleasure, yesterday, Of
meeting Elders William Gardner anu
Isaac Height, who have Just returned
home from New Zealand, after having
spent several years in the missionary

dence among the Maories, and believe
much good has been accomplished.

A COAL oil famine seems imminent in
this city. We are informed that orders
placed some weeks ago have not vet
been filled. A call made by one Of
our representatives at the Office of TIE
Continental Oil Company failed to elicit
any information as to the cause of the
scarcity, but it was thought to be on
account of the exceeding demand Of ex-
portations. A new supply of oil is ex-
pected to reach this point on Friday
next, sufficient to accommodate all need
ing it.
WE HAD a pleasant call yesterday
from personal acquaintance who has
just returned from an eXten i've trip
through California. In his opinion
Ogden is much better built town than
Los Angeles. and he considers her per
manent prospects much greater, our
climate being superior in every respect.
He is so imbued with our situation and
facilities for business that he has de
termined TO settle here in preference to
any town California can boast of.
Pm TOO late for the train again;
that darned thing they call clock
placed on the top of the Court House
ought to be broken up for old ironW
Such was the exclamation made by one
of our prominent merchants the other
day when he found himself left on the
depot platform. Cannot something be
done to remedy this state of things?
might well be asked. Surely the only
public clock in town ought to be prop
erly looked after. 1t is seldom right;
occasionally it strikes the hours while
the hands are stationary, and, again,
the pointers travel around the circle
every now and then in dumb show.
